Case Study

Reverse: Jeff

Problem

Jeff came to see Dr. Saltzman after his annual medical exam with his primary care doctor. His blood pressure was elevated, despite his medication, and his weight was up. He also struggled with lower back pain, elevated blood pressure, cholesterol dysfunction, and back pain, all caused by inflammation.

Get More Oxygen

Dr. Saltzman suggested whole-body oxygenation combined with exercise could help many of the health problems Jeff was facing. He prescribed a program that involved exercising with oxygen (EWOT), intermittent fasting, Prolozone injections, and specialized work to address Jeff’s lower back tightness. Ultimately, the synergy of all these treatments transformed his life, but EWOT produced the most encouraging benefits early in the process. Jeff worked out on the EWOT treadmill at least three times a week and used specialized saunas post-workout to further reduce his back tightness. After only two months, Jeff began to feel a general increase in energy and a significant reduction in pain. Working out with extra oxygen helped his body clear waste from chronically inflamed areas, leading to pain reduction without side effects.

Conclusion

After several months, Jeff was able to stop his blood pressure medication and had greatly improved energy. He purchased equipment to incorporate oxygen therapies into his home training. He is a great example of using natural therapies to restore health instead of simply medicating symptoms and coping with side effects.

 

 

Case Study

Reverse: Chris

Problem

Chris had a history of hypertension, obesity, and mild sleep apnea. He was active years before, but had no current exercise regimen. Chris also disclosed that he was having erectile dysfunction, a common side effect from the antihypertensive medications he was prescribed by another physician.

Create a Foundation

Dr. Saltzman first prescribed targeted nutrition and detoxification for Chris. To get him moving, Chris started gentle stretching and progressed to hot yoga. The hot yoga was effective and helped Chris to sweat regularly for the first time in years. Dr. Saltzman added sessions in an ozone steam sauna to this gentle training to support his flexibility and reduce muscular pain.

Reach for the Sky

After four months of foundational care, Chris was ready to exercise on his own. Dr. Saltzman started him on a cyclic exercise program and Chris quickly felt better, had more energy, and his weight improved. In consultation with his primary care physician and cardiologist, Dr. Saltzman made reductions in his antihypertensive medications. After a few sessions with a chiropractor, he started exercise-induced growth hormone interval training. Chris was shocked at how challenging this type of exercise was. It took him almost ten weeks to get to the point where he could complete the workout.

Conclusion

Interval training transformed Chris’ body. He lost fat around his middle and developed a much more muscular physique, likely due to the release of his body’s own supply of growth hormone. He felt good and enjoyed his improved health. After a year of treatment, he stopped taking both blood pressure medications and his sleep apnea had improved significantly.

Meditation, Cold Exposure and Focused Breathing Positively Impact Your Nervous System and Immune Response

SJS Comment: This is the research study that brought Wim Hof (The Ice Man) international recognition. Indeed, we are capable of influencing our immune and hormonal responses. This is a landmark study.

“Hitherto, both the autonomic nervous system and innate immune system were regarded as systems that cannot be voluntarily influenced. The present study demonstrates that, through practicing techniques learned in a short-term training program, the sympathetic nervous system and immune system can indeed be voluntarily influenced. This study could have important implications for the treatment of a variety of conditions associated with excessive or persistent inflammation, especially autoimmune diseases.”

Cold Exposure Improves Insulin Sensitivity and Benefits Blood Sugar Control in Diabetics

SJS Comment. This is a huge increase in insulin sensitivity (the underlying problem of Type 2 Diabetes) in an extremely short period of time.

“Cold exposure may be a potential therapy for diabetes by increasing brown adipose tissue mass and activity. Here we report that 10 days of cold acclimation (14–15 °C) increased peripheral insulin sensitivity by ∼43% in type 2 diabetes subjects.”

Fasting Positively Impacts Many Disease Risk Factors

Fasting

Fasting Positively Impacts Many Disease Risk Factors

“Fasting enables organisms to enter alternative metabolic phases. Restoring a fasting period may be an effective treatment strategy for several chronic diseases… (Fasting regimens) have emerged as potential strategies not just for one disease but for an array of factors that constitutes the foundation for metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and possibly neurodegenerative diseases.”
